Excess baggage is charged per kilogram. Items exceeding 60 linear inches (length + width + depth) incur additional charges beyond standard excess baggage fees. Special baggage such as sporting equipment, musical instruments, or hazardous materials may require advance approval.

What happens if I exceed my baggage allowance?
Excess baggage is charged at a per-kilogram rate set by the airline. High-volume items (exceeding 60 linear inches) incur additional surcharges on top of weight-based excess fees. Contact Maldivian before travel to confirm current rates and arrange payment options.
Are liquids, electronics, and sporting equipment subject to special rules?
Yes. Liquids in carry-on must comply with IATA regulations (100 ml containers). Electronics and batteries follow international safety standards. Sporting equipment (surfboards, diving gear, golf clubs) may require advance notice and possible additional fees. Confirm with the airline at [email protected] or +960 333 55 44 before packing.
Do infants and children have different baggage allowances?
Specific allowances for infants and children are not detailed in standard public information. Contact the airline directly to confirm baggage entitlements for passengers under 12 years old.
